Wild Horse “Tell-All” Film to Air on Documentary Channel « Straight from the Horse's Heart

Wild Horse “Tell-All” Film to Air on Documentary Channel « Straight from the Horse's Heart

With the American mustang crisis in the news worldwide, award-winning filmmaker, James Anaquad-Kleinert brings his star- studded environmental film, “Wild Horses & Renegades” to National attention.   In the film, Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Viggo Mortensen, Raoul Trujillo, Daryl Hannah and Dances with Wolves author Michael Blake join with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) to highlight how the great symbol of the American West is being purposefully driven to extinction by a corrupt Bureau of Land Management. The documentary captures the corporate benefits of wild horse roundups, including clearing land for Uranium mining claims, oil and gas pipelines and corporate cattle grazing. As Jim Baca (former Director of the Bureau of Land Management) states in “Wild Horses & Renegades,” “Our Public Lands are run by the oil, mining and livestock industries and it’s their way or the highway.”
